Purpose : The present study was conducted to contribute to the improvement of safety in construction sites by investigating the implementation of risk assessment in the construction industry. Methods : This study analyzed whether the risk assessment of construction sites was carried out using the data of the 10th Occupational Safety and Health Survey. Factors associated with conducting risk assessments included health examination results, provision of education, operation of health and safety teams, and awareness of the risk of labor unions and field workers. We measured the correlation between these factors and the execution of risk assessments, and analyzed the data using logistic regression and chi-square tests. Results : As a result of the study, it was confirmed that there was a significant relationship with the risk assessment of construction sites, general and special health checkups, provision of safety and health education, and the existence of safety and health teams. This indicates that the active participation of employers in conducting health checks, providing training, and effectively operating safety and health teams is closely related to the implementation of risk assessments. However, there was no statistically significant correlation between the existence of trade unions and the perception of workers' risks and the implementation of risk assessments. Conclusion : This study investigates and provides important information that can contribute to improving the safety of construction sites by examining the relationship between the implementation of risk assessment and safety management factors. The survey found that general health checkups, special health checkups, safety and health education, and residence of safety and health teams are closely related to the implementation of risk assessment at construction sites. These factors can improve the safety and health of the construction site. However, workers' perception of risk and the existence of unions do not have a significant impact on risk assessment enforcement rates. This suggests that construction workers are aware of the risks but may not actively participate in risk assessments. Therefore, the construction industry needs to strengthen general health checkups, special health checkups, provision of safety and health education, and formation and operation of safety and health teams. In addition, efforts should be made to improve the awareness of workers' participation in health and safety and to develop education and communication programs so that they can actively participate in risk assessment. These measures will help strengthen the safety of construction sites and ensure the welfare of workers.
